we'll have Silverlake babies 
up from the reservoir 
hang by our fingers the fence that surrounds it 
under the night sky 
the lavender bright sky 
lonely and emptied of stars 

we'll saddle around 
to the clubs when we're up for it 
saddle around to the bars 
and huddle in close when we're ready for bed 
lullabye Philip K Dick 

we'll holler and shout 
while we rattle the cage 
climbing, our feet hooked in tiny spaces 
and I'll always wonder how lucky I've been 
you'll always wonder the same, the same, the same 

we'll have Silverlake babies 
up from the reservoir 
skating around and around in a circle 
buzzing the searchlight 
oh miracle spotlight 
lonely and emptied of stars 

we'll holler, shout, 
shake, and rattle the cage 
climbing, our feet stepped in tiny spaces 
and I'll always wonder how lucky I've been 
you'll always wonder the same, the same 

we'll have Silverlake babies 
Silverlake babies 
Silverlake babies 
Silverlake
